Eh, I work part-time in a museum. You wouldn't believe how thoroughly people can walk right by any and all useful information clearly displayed... and then come bug us about it.

The most recent record-setting example being this lady who handed over her coat in the cloakroom... over a sign laid on the desk which explained the meeting she was going to attend had the cloakroom elsewhere.

Trust me, customer-service jobs kinda make you lose faith in your fellow man.

That said, it's not like most of the recent askees meant anything bad with it - but I know well enough how irritiating it can be to have to answer the same questions over and over again, when the information could be found with very little effort. And *then* there's the occasional real annoyances...

How did it now go, illegitimi non carburandum - "don't let the bastards bury you", EB team. It's fine job you're doing.
